October update

October has been a great month for our girl...she's pretty much figured out the whole cause and effect thing (drop toy, mom or dad picks up toy, rinse, repeat), is very close to being able to sit up on her own and is making a few almost crawling movements. Her vocalizations are increasing in variety with cute experiments in tempo, pitch and musicality. In fact, Theron swears she sang the first few bars of the Beach Boy's "Barbra Ann" recently. Another neat thing she's started doing is showing/sharing with us her toys. For example, she'll intently examine one of the dangly bits on her whozit, such as the fuzzy orange heart or the green polkadotted ring, and then hold it out to us. Is it silly that I take this as a sign that she's a clever kid? This month we also had a visit with Gr'Aunt J, Gr'Uncle T, first-cousin-once-removed B, his wife L and their daughter T who is Sylvie's 2nd cousin. (I think I've got the familial relationships correct!) 

We also visited Salem with Sylvie decked out in her official Space Baby uniform, and she later made a a brief appearance at her first Halloween party. G'ma J was kind enough to babysit so that Space Ghost('s evil twin) and the "Milky Way" were able to stay out and par-TAY at A and S's 4th Annual Halloween Spookstravaganza.

If I was the type to Squeee! And hop up and down flapping my hands, I'd be doing that right now. Such a cutey. Love the pigtails.
